The following tables provide descriptions for the controls in this form.

The tabs and controls that were added to this form for the Warehouse management features in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 are not described in this topic. For information about these features, see Warehouse management.

Update lines to Picked or Complete if this has been set up as part of outbound rules.

Functions

Activation: Activate the picking route.

Start picking route: Start picking on a picking route that has status Activated.

Open output orders: View open output orders for the picking route.

Cancel picking route: Cancel all lines in the picking route. If one or more lines have already been picked and the Handling status for the lines is Picked or an even later status, it is not possible to cancel the route.

Deliver picked items: Manually deliver picked items and specify where you want picked items to be delivered after picking. The status of each line changes according to the setup stage that you have defined in the Outbound rules form. The program automatically removes any lines that have been delivered and highlights the next items to be delivered.

Print

Print the picking list.

To make it easier to update the information in the form, the printed picking list is sorted in the same way as the lines in the form.

Split: If the complete quantity cannot be picked due to, for example, inventory shortage, spilt the line into two. Both lines will have the same Lot ID.

Note that for sales orders this is possible only if the customer allows partial delivery. This is set up on each sales order line in the Sales order form (the Complete option on the General tab)

Unpick: For lines that are already Complete, register that items for the selected line have been put back in the inventory. This could for example be relevant if items were picked and reported from the wrong batch or if the customer does not need the full picked quantity.

Cancel picking line: For lines that are not Complete, remove them from the picking list. This command corresponds to using the Delete Record command on the toolbar.

Cancel picking line: Cancel the selected lines. If one or more lines have already been picked and the Handling status for the lines is Picked or an even later status, it is not possible to cancel.

Output orders

Opens the Output order form that provides information about the output orders found in the system.

Use the Order picking and the Consolidated picking to filter on picking routes based on one or the other picking method.

Use Picking route to filter on a specific picking route or on the bar code associated with the picking route.

Tip

When Mode of handling is Document, the bar code can be scanned from the paper picking list and into the Picking route field. This is an easy way to filter the form and display the relevant picking route.

Handling status
